Edit: The title of this thread should have been "Armstrong Powerhouse Class 43 Enhancement Packs" not Class 42. Hi guys! Got a question about the 3 Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement packs for the Class 43. For the MTU the description says... As well as the included liveries, this pack also applies to the MTU engined class 43s and their relevant mk3 coaches within the following packs: DTG ECML London to Peterborough - More Information DTG European Community Asset Pack - More Information DTG Riviera Line: Exeter to Paignton - More Information DTG South Wales Coastal: Bristol to Swansea - More Information And for the Valenta, the description says... As well as the included liveries, this pack also applies to the Valenta engined class 43s and their relevant mk3 coaches within the following packs: DTG European Community Asset Pack - More Information But for the VP185, there is no such statement. So, am I correct in assuming that the AP VP185 Enhancement pack only applies to the liveries included in the pack? And if so, to which DTG Class 43 model are the liveries applied to? When searching the Steam store for a VP185, I can't find one. I have the DTG Remastered Class 43. Are the AP VP185 liveries applied to it? Thanks!
All the AP Class 43 enhancement packs are applied to the DTG European Community Asset Pack, including the associated Mk 3 coaches.
Note you can install to a dummy folder and only install the elements you want, then run the included InstallMe file from the correct directory to set up the GEOs. I played with the 43 install and my Kuju is untouched, while the rest are installed. I did this because the MTU pack installs one that already has its own folder. So I will swap to it manually instead.
Just a quick update... I bought the 3 Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement packs for the Class 43 during their Christmas sale, and they all sound and operate great! So how often does Armstrong Powerhouse have sales? I think these were 40% off, and I'm going to have to go shopping for more AP enhancement packs the next time they have a sale!
Ap sales are never guranteed. You can always be sure of powerhouse thursday which is the day before black friday and a christmas/new year sale. If memory serves me right they tend to have a easter sale as well.
In 2022, they skipped Easter and did the Jubilee in June instead, then had another sale in August. They then had a one day Black Friday sale with the first 50% off discounts I've seen from them.
They didn’t do a Black Friday sale they do powerhouse Thursday. not all packs had 50 percent off it was an “up to” which was a small handful and they have done that before
Note that installing at least the MTU pack installs the previous sound pack as well. While the sounds are better than the default Kuju/DTG sounds (although I do like the old ones too) it removes the rather nice passenger view on these models. Spoiler: Fun Fact You may note that the HST passenger view on the default HSTs are in a First Great Western scheme that was never used in service. Instead it is from a preview of a refurbishment that never happened in that form, with the one we actually got being a full refit of the trains. The standard class colour scheme was horrific, but the first class scheme I quite like. The livery on the outside was also slightly different to the original dynamic lines livery seen early on during the refurbishment, but was replaced due to cleaning issues I believe. This original livery was in fact cut content from Rail Simulator, which shows it in certain screenshots but is not in the game itself.
